What Factors Should You Consider When Choosing a Work Injury Attorney?

1. How Much Experience Does the Attorney Have?

Generally speaking, the more experience a work injury attorney has, the better. If an attorney has years (or decades) of experience, this could mean that he or she has become a trusted advocate for injured workers in your local community.

On the other hand, a newer attorney who is trying to grow his or her practice may be looking to build an impressive list of case results, and he or she may be willing to go above and beyond to protect your legal rights. Ultimately, you should choose an attorney who makes you feel comfortable, and who you believe gives you the best opportunity for success.

2. What Types of Cases Does the Attorney Handle?

Many attorneys exclusively handle personal injury cases, and some focus their practices solely on work injury claims. This focus can work to your advantage, particularly if your state’s workers’ compensation laws are complicated or there are unique aspects to your work injury case.

But, depending on where you live, you may not be able to find an attorney whose practice is dedicated to representing injured workers. Or, maybe your case involves additional considerations (for example, if you are an undocumented worker), and maybe you need an attorney with knowledge in other areas of the law. When you need to seek compensation, you need personal legal representation, and your choice of attorney should be a personal decision.

3. How Many Injured Workers has the Attorney Represented?

Some work injury lawyers have represented several injured workers. Others have represented thousands. Then, there are those who have represented none at all. Are you willing to entrust your case to an attorney with limited experience but who is willing to give it their all? Or, would you prefer to rely on the experience of an attorney who has handled thousands of cases similar to yours?

4. Will the Attorney Personally Handle Your Case?

Some work injury lawyers prefer to take a hands-on approach to legal representation. They give their clients their cell phone numbers, and they personally handle each case every step of the way. Others prefer a more managerial approach, and they rely on a team of dedicated staff members and associate attorneys to handle much of the workload. Which approach is best? When it comes to pursuing your work injury claim, this is another question that only you can answer.

5. Is the Attorney Familiar with the Work Injury Laws in Your State?

Work injury claims are rarely straightforward. From the types of compensation available to the reasons why your employer (or its insurance company) may try to deny your claim, you will want an attorney who is intimately familiar with the work injury laws in your state.

6. Is the Attorney Going to Be Available When You Want to Discuss Your Case?

You will have questions during your work injury case. Over time, you will suddenly remember information that you want to share with your lawyer. Is he or she going to be available when you call (or is he or she committed to responding to your calls, texts, and emails as quickly as possible)? This is a question you can (and should) ask during your free initial consultation.

7. Does the Attorney Have a History of Proven Results?

While different states have different rules regarding how much information attorneys can share about their prior case results, you should be able to ask about your attorney’s prior experience in work injury cases. What percentage of the attorney’s cases result in payment of compensation? Of these, what percentage involve out-of-court settlements, and what percentage involve verdicts rendered at trial?
